The Windows word wrap is a visual thing. It doesn't actually insert CR into
your text. It depends on the size of the control containing the text. Some
editors allow you to set a limit (say 72 characters) regardless of how you
may have sized the display control.

With Window's MleText or RichEdit, your text lines could actually be very
long, but only appear short. For editing program code this is probably not
what you want. For editing prose though, this is most likely exactly what
you want.


Judith,
  can I suggest you use RichEdit for the code editor but without word wrap.
This allows you to edit very large files and still have line length in the
programmer's control. Plus it makes color-coding easier.
